This is a big thank you to all the people out there who are great significant others. Your faithfulness has given me faith in relationships. I used to think love was for fools and that every girl was a cheater, but my amazing girlfriend has changed that stereotype for the better.

— CHANGE IN PERSPECTIVE

I am thankful for all the friends and contacts I have made throughout my college career and the experience I have gained. Without my support group constantly keeping me on my toes, I would be holed up in my room, playing Halo 4 like my roommates.

— DEDICATED TO T.B.

I’m thankful for country music, cowboy boots, my family and boyfriend. Without these, I would have never made it through the hardest semester of my life. They have been my comfort through all the tough spots I’ve run into this year. Thanks y’all!

— SOUTHERN COMFORT

Shoutout to all the professors and instructors who cancelled class this week. Honestly, you knew no one was going to show up. You used critical thinking and made a decision for the best. For that, I will try my best to pay attention for the rest of the semester.

— HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

I’m thankful for my quirky mother who will do anything, including Dumpster-diving, to make her three children happy. She always makes me laugh, even when she’s not trying to. I love you.

— MANIC FOR MOTHER

You know that feeling you get when you know your friends have your back? That’s what I get when I’m around my hometown friends. Here’s to the rest of the year; full of parties, trumpets and dancing after 3 a.m.

— WOO WOO HOMETOWN HEROES

The BG News is one of the most influential aspects of my life. The people who work here have made me feel as though the University is my home and caused the transition from high school to college to be a simple, enjoyable feat. You guys and gals are the best.

— LOVE WHO THEY ARE
